Amy & Joe, Chris & I have been following all the news since before Benjamin was born. And even though he came to you a bit early, with a “strong” name like Benjamin Charles, we just knew he would be a fighter. We have prayed every day for his progress. Every time Edie would call we would be so happy to hear and see the awesome pictures she would forward to us. We will continue to pray for all of you and now that he is going to be in New York it will make things easier for you both and for the grandparents too. Congrats and our best wishes for continued good health and progress.
